Hi. I started taking primolut nor 3 days before my expected date to delay my period. But I have started spotting. Will the spotting stop if I continue taking one tablet daily? Or now is it too late to stop the period? ## Hello, Suki! How are you? Yes, 3 days before your period likely wasn't long enough to delay it. Have you consulted your doctor? If you would like to have better control over when your period occurs in the future, you should talk to your doctor about taking an oral contraceptive. ## Hi, I had DUB and took primolut to stop. When the bleeding stopped after two days whenever i urinate i am passing blot clots which is similar to premenstrual symptom. It's almost 8 days now. should i be worried? or it's because of the tablet? ## Hi. I have a polycystic ovary and i...

I haven't been seeing my period for months 3-4 months, went to the clinic for a pregnancy test and it is negative. The doctor said there might be fat on my tubes. I'd like to know what else can the problem be except for fat in my tubes because its been happening for a while now my period is on and off and the doctor prescribed Famynor tablets. ## Hello, Heily! How are you? It is most likely due to a hormonal imbalance. Famynor are used to prevent pregnancy, but taking them for a few months may help to rebalance your hormones, so your body starts to cycle normally, again. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi I didn't get my period for a month now and I did pregnant test and checked in my blood they both negative should I be worried that I may be pregnant,the doctor g...

I am 21 and I had been on Loestrin 24 fe for about a year and a half and I started getting anxiety and depression. I also had some vision problems that happened to me as well. After I realized that all my symptoms were because of the pill I immediately stopped. I have been off of it for about 6 months now and I am still struggling. I have had major anxiety and panic attacks and I have also had huge mood swings, foggy thinking and extreme irritability. I have no idea what is going on but these pills have really messed me up. Has anyone else had these problems? I just want to feel better and any advice would be really great. Thanks. ## I'm 21 and started taking this bc in January and sense then I have also developed anxiety! I also have not had a period since March 8 and I'm not p...

In the past i used trust pill and i experience the breast tenderness and also may thighs and arms had been tender when i used it for many months. ## Yes and if you haven't missed any pills, you should be able to do a clean switchover, without any problems and should still be protected. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Im a trust pills user and im planning to change to althea.. but i dont know how to start althea.. after taking may last trust pills should i start althea d next day? ## gxto q po mag plit ng trust pills into lady pills,pnu po kea aq magstrt s lady pills? ## I'm using diane35 for years..

Hi , I've just started using Oralcon from using Yasmin. Is there a big difference between the two ? Because I am worried it might have a different effect as it is cheaper ? ## I switched from Yasmin to oralcon. Is it safe to just change or will it effect me hormonally? I've taken a brand new cycle now for my new month and would also like to know if I must consume all of the white tablets then break or consume the red tablets as well? ## No, it works the same and you should not have a problem making a clean switch from one to the other. Shell, the red tablets do not have any active ingredients, they are just reminder pills to try to keep women in the habit for taking a pill every day, so you can skip them, if you wish, it would be just like having a break week where you don't...

I got my nexplanon implanted a year and a half ago soon after I received news that my thyroid was swollen and been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. There is not history of this in my family and have never had any problems like this, I'm still pretty young being 26. I've had 3 kids and my weight has always be stable until now. Hypothyroidism is ruining my life and I believe it might have something to do with the nexplanon because this all started when I got it implanted. Thoughts?? ## Hello, Holly! How are you? No, that's not a normal side effect of Nexplanon, as listed by the FDA. Typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, PMS-like symptoms and irregular bleeding. Had you ever had symptoms of a thyroid issue in the past? Are you on any...

Last month, I started taking Lo Loestrin FE for perimenopause symptoms. I am 47 years old, My cycles were irregular, messy and for the last few years I have been depressed (off and on), fatigued, low libido, vaginal dryness, crampy, irritable, etc. (you know the drill :) . So, finally, I asked for a low dose combination pill to try and help. So far, the only relief is that my bleeding is 100% better - everything else is a huge mess. Have any of you experienced perimenopausal RELIEF using LoLoestrin? ## Hi Kim, I am on loestrin fe also for persistent bleeding, which it did help with but months later I developed depression and hot flashes and was also put on natural Estradiol which helped tremendously with all. Recently however I missed a loestrin fe and had a few days run of hot flashes,...

Hello! I’m a pharmacy technician trying to help a patient afford this and she’s tried many different insurance companies and coupons but the lowest she can get it is $141. Does anyone have any advice on the cheapest place to get it, good insurance that covers this, or good coupons? Anything would be greatly appreciated as she has tried so hard and I’m just starting to look around. Thanks I’m advance. ## Has she considered asking her doctor to prescribe a cheaper alternative? It might be cheaper for her to take a different one and just add an additional iron supplement, but only her doctor can help decide if that's safe for her to do.

Hello my birth control just got switched 4 days ago. I have celiacs disease and even the smallest traces of it can make me sick or have digestion issues. Ever sense I started this pill I have been nauseated which I know is a side effect but my stomach has been swollen and I've been having digestion issues. Does any one know if mono-linyah is or is not gluten free??? I did not have this trouble with yaz. ## Mono-Linyah uses corn starch as an ingredient, so there is no gluten. It has, however, been known to cause abdominal distention as a side effect, along with the nausea, and general indigestion. How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change?

I've been on Hyan contraceptive for the past two months after a c-section and my period is a very dark red blood. Is this normal? ## That can be normal, when using a form of hormonal contraceptive, according to the NIH, other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability. However, it never hurts to have it checked out, if you're concerned. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I've been using hyan for about a year and just changed to oralcon. How's this gonna affect me ## Hello. I have been taking Hy-an now for a month. I am 47. But I had breast tenderness and my period is now 9 days delayed! Where before it was only 4 days.

I have been using nur isterate last year from January to October and I stopped, but I have been experiencing non stop bleeding. So I went to a clinic and the nurse gave me Famynor, and she cut out the red ones. What are the white ones supposed to do? I want to get pregnant. Plz help. ## I got 5 months now I can't see my periods and they gave me Famynor pills it's now 1 and half week nothing has happened and I want the baby ....help please ## Hello Makwanda Famynor is a contraceptive that prevents ovulation and in turn stops menstruation bleeding. Generally contraceptives have active and inactive pills (placebo), I suggest you contact your PCP to discern if that is the case with the discarded red pills. If you are attempting to get pregnant you should consult your primary care ph...

I've been using petogen consistently for 6 months now which is 2 shots. Seven weeks into the second shot I had unprotected intercourse and I'm experiencing excessive hunger these days... Could I be pregnant? ## Not likely, as long as you made sure to receive your shots on time. It is a long-term contraceptive that contains Medroxyprogesterone. The NIH does warn that it can cause increased hunger, weight gain, nausea, irregular bleeding, and headache. Are you on any other medications? ## I'm not on any other medication. I have another question, if I go for a shot a week later than prescribed, would it be much of a problem? ## Hello. My girlfriend was on the Oralcon 4th red pill and she went to opt for the Petogen shot, but she sees her periods. Is she still protected or could...
